As the 2013 ATP
World Tour tennis season kicks off, Aframe
announced that its cloud video production platform helped Clean
Cut Media declare a victory over the time-intensive and costly
process of sharing tennis footage globally.

Instead of delivering full broadcast resolution video footage using
overnight shipment of tapes and hard drives, Clean Cut Media use Aframe
to leverage cloud computing as a smarter way to produce and distribute a
variety of tennis content. Working with production teams in Los Angeles
and London, Clean Cut Media use Aframe’s private cloud network to:

Ingest footage from ATP
World Tour events in 61 tournaments in 31 countries on 6
continents, as well as from foreign producers and Clean Cut’s own film
staff

Support remote access anywhere around the globe by ATP’s team or its
local partners

Allow efficient versioning of content into multiple languages and
country-specific packages, such as UK segments
on Andy Murray

Sponsored content such as Player Profiles sponsored by FedEx and Moët
& Chandon Champagne Moments

Accelerate review and approval of highlights and promo packages

Deal efficiently with each broadcaster’s unique workflow and broadcast
standards and requirements, with always-accessible content stored
securely in the cloud.

“We were looking for a time-efficient and cost-saving tapeless workflow.
The great thing about Aframe is that it creates proxies from hi-res
files for clients to view our work immediately before we send out the
final version for broadcasters to download the full original format,”
said January Lo, production manager at Clean
Cut Media. “This secure private cloud network is a smarter way for
us to upload large files and manage our online archive easily."

Operational in London since 2010, Aframe expanded its private cloud
network to the US in 2012. Aframe’s highly secure, exceptionally fast
cloud allows professional video creators to share, search and
collaborate without on-site equipment or full-time staff – anywhere,
anytime – requiring only an internet connection.

“In the hyper-competitive business of sports video, Aframe helped Clean
Cut Media achieve the fast turnarounds that are paramount to ensuring
broadcast content is kept fresh, and shows attract the audiences they
seek,” said David Peto, CEO of Aframe.
